Back to Basics

Let’s take a peak at some of the more common concepts above

“love” relationships and see if they are myths or based upon reality.

“All we need is love.” Myth or not? Since love does seem to be

able to overcome anything and everything, at least on television and

at the movies, this seems like a reality. However, truth is, making

relationships work takes skill and hard work, regardless of the “love”

factor. This is a myth here.

Just like in fairy tales, once true love is found, people live

happily ever after. Truth or myth? Granted couples can look into each

other’s eyes and have those warm fuzzy feelings. However, truth is, all

couples will have their ups and downs. “Happily ever after” seems to

imply a perfect, problem-less relationship when in reality, those don’t

exist.

It has to be “love at first sight” in order to work long-term. Myth

or truth? While this can be true for some, it certainly doesn’t have to

be for all couples in long-term relationships. Many people grow

together over time.

Since practically anyone can learn the nuts and bolts of

relationship building, focusing on some basic techniques that can be

learned is a must. The main ones, in no particular order, are:

- Read : “Read” people well.

- Rapport : Develop rapport with others well.

- Finesse : Have some finesse; i.e. handle conversations and

activities in a cordial manner

- Conflict Resolution : Resolve negative issues and conflicts without

too much friction

- Support Co-Op : Gain the support and cooperation in working

towards a common goal

Let’s take a little closer look at each and what learning is involved.

READING PEOPLE: BODY LANGUAGE BRIEFING

Body language is the meaning behind the words or the

“unspoken” language. Surprisingly, studies show that only up to an

estimated 10 percent of our communication is verbal. The majority of

the rest of communication is unspoken. This unspoken language isn’t

rocket science. However, there are some generalizations or basic

interpretations that can be applied to help with the understanding or

translating of these unspoken meanings. Here are some basics below.
